| - It's taken me forever and a few years to write a review for The Cheesecake Factory at Ross Park Mall. I guess it's because I don't really understand the love and the appeal. This place is almost always packed!! I also don't really understand how they can have such a large menu that covers almost every type of food there is and get everything right. And that's because they don't. Even so, the masses flock to this place like bees to a hive.
It should be the ultimate place to dine while at the mall! Beautiful interior, soaring ceilings, custom painted fancy columns, dark wood booths. Service is friendly and generally spot on.
Back to the menu (complete with advertisements, am I the only one that finds this so tacky?), you can get pizza, pasta,(including jambalaya style) seafood, steaks and chops, salads, sandwiches, burgers, omelets and Sunday Brunch. For beverages, they serve wine, beer, cocktails, frozen drinks, espresso, milkshakes. Again, you want it, they got it.
Quantities can sometimes be too large. I got a salad here one time that was so big it was almost embarrassing. I could not longer see my date over my salad. It was more greens that I could eat in one week. Oh, and the cheesecake. The choices here are also over the top and decedent. But really, who has room left for dessert? Of course, they are more than happy to bag it up for you to take out.
A recent addition that is making me like them more is The SkinnyLicious Menu. Again, an overkill with all the choices. And you will never get skinny eating these meals, but it is a vast improvement over their regular fare.
